 LETTER FROM DAN PORTERFIELD, PRESIDENT AND CEO

A LETTER FROM PRESIDENT

AND CEO DAN PORTERFIELD
There is nothing quite like the Aspen Institute. It is
an extraordinary—and unique—American institution.
We work between fields and across divides as a
non-profit force for good whose mission is to con-
vene change-makers of every type, established and
emerging, to frame and then solve society’s most
important problems. We lead on almost every issue
with a tool kit stocked for solution-building—always
valuing reason, hope, drive, creativity, freedom, in-
tegrity, and humanity. In an era of unparalleled tech-
nological advancement and dramatic social change,
we are needed now more than ever.
In the years to come, the Aspen Institute will deepen
our impacts. It is crucial that we enhance the devel-
opment of the young, address the urgent challenges
of the future, and renew the ideals of democratic so-
ciety. I look forward to working closely with our many
partners and friends as we write the next chapter on
the Institute’s scope and leadership for America and
the world.
All the best,

Over the past 15 years, the Institute has grown and

deepened its impacts in extraordinary ways under
the transformational and visionary leadership of Dan Porterfield
Walter Isaacson. We offer the world dozens of policy President and CEO
programs, policy leadership programs, public pro-
grams, youth and engagement programs, seminars,
international partnerships, and more—programs that
span the globe and help communities and leaders
everywhere to thrive.

 OUR NEW HEADQUARTERS
Washington, DC
Gazing out the windows of the Institute’s new Washington, DC headquarters—with panoramic
views of Rock Creek Park, Dupont Circle, and Georgetown—makes you feel as if you are standing
on an urban mountaintop. The 90,000-square-foot space at 2300 N Street NW was designed by
OTJ Architects and built by Davis Construction. The designers chose to work in the modernist
idiom of renowned Bauhaus architect Herbert Bayer, who designed the Institute’s Aspen
Meadows campus. The new headquarters offers staff a more collaborative work environment
and provides larger, enhanced gathering spaces for public events. Support from the Institute’s
generous donors (please see page 46) made the whole venture possible.

POLICY
PROGRAMS
Nonpartisan initiatives that
drive dialogue and action on
today’s challenges

Aspen Institute policy programs are unlike those of other organizations.

They draw on the Institute’s unparalleled convening power as a nonparti-
san group to create forums for analysis, problem solving, and consensus
building. Programs gather evidence and bring it to bear on a wide range
of domestic and global issues, gathering leaders and experts to reach
constructive and innovative solutions. Each program is unique in its sub-
stance and approach. Together the Institute’s programs share a common
mission and methodology: convene people of diverse perspectives to
engage in informed dialogue that leads to action.

ASPEN INSTITUTE CITIZENSHIP AND
AMERICAN IDENTITY PROGRAM
www.aspeninstitute.org/citizenship
In a time of rising inequality, increasing diversity, and
widening polarization, the question of what it means
to be American—and how we create a unifying story
of “us”—is of prime consequence. The Citizenship and
American Identity Program explores this question
through a range of cross-ideological activity, from public
forums to leadership gatherings to seminars. We focus
on three aspects of citizenship: values, systems, and
skills. The values segment focuses on articulating and
updating the creedal and cultural content of American
civic identity. The systems segment includes policy
proposals and projects to build social cohesion. The skills
segment teaches leaders to construct coalitions and a
sense of shared fate across increasingly rigid class and
race divides. Three of the program’s core projects are the
Better Arguments Project, which encourages Americans
to reach across political, cultural, and economic divides
and engage one another in more productive debates;
What Every American Should Know, an initiative to build
civic and cultural literacy in America; and the Narrative
Collaboratory, which aims to generate narratives of citizen
power and to share the tools to exercise such power.
ASPEN INSTITUTE LATINOS AND
SOCIETY PROGRAM
www.aspeninstitute.org/latinos-society
The Latinos and Society Program seeks to increase
awareness and understanding of the growing Latino-
American population in the United States and its
connection to the well-being of all Americans. As the
largest ethnic group in the US, projected to reach 30
percent of the population by 2060, the successes and
failures of Latino-Americans will affect the trajectory of
the entire country: their participation and leadership in
all sectors of society is critical to the nation’s prosperity.
The Latinos and Society Program convenes meaningful
dialogues across communities with a focus on influencing
better solutions to challenges affecting Latinos and
the nation, infusing the work of the Aspen Institute
with Latino voices and ideas and developing Latino
leadership capacity. The program’s policy work focuses
on educational achievement, economic advancement,
and civic participation.
ASPEN NETWORK OF
DEVELOPMENT ENTREPRENEURS
www.aspeninstitute.org/ande
The Aspen Network of Development Entrepreneurs
is a global network of organizations that propel
entrepreneurship in emerging markets. ANDE members
provide critical financial, educational, and business-support
services to small and growing businesses based on the
conviction that they will create jobs, stimulate long-term
economic growth, and produce environmental and social
benefits. ANDE members include capacity-development
providers, corporations, development-finance institutions,
donor agencies, foundations, investment funds, and
research and academic institutions from around the world.
Launched with 34 members in 2009, ANDE now comprises
more than 280 members operating in over 150 countries.
ANDE has regional chapters in Brazil, Central America and
Mexico, East Africa, East and Southeast Asia, India, South
Africa, and West Africa. ANDE will also be launching a new
chapter in the Andean region of South America in 2018.
ASPEN PLANNING AND
EVALUATION PROGRAM
www.aspeninstitute.org/apep
The Aspen Planning and Evaluation Program helps clients
plan and evaluate efforts to shape public policy and
promote changes in attitudes and behavior. Program
staff and consultants work both internally with other
Institute programs and externally with foundations and
nongovernmental organizations based in the US, Africa,
and Europe to assess their contribution to positive change.
Current clients address issues as diverse as reducing the
incidence of child marriage worldwide, strengthening
advocacy for access to reproductive health services in
sub-Saharan Africa, and organizing faith-based activists
to promote greater educational opportunity for people
of color in the US. The program also leads the Institute’s
internal program-review process.
2018 OVERVIEW | 2017 ANNUAL REPORT 9
 ASPEN STRATEGY GROUP
www.aspeninstitute.org/asg
How can America’s national security establishment better
adapt to nascent threats and challenges? As current global
trends defy traditional notions of international relations,
what common problems do nations face in the 21st
century? This program focuses on transnational issues
that blend foreign and domestic subjects. Founded in
1984 with a concentration on strategic relations, arms-
control issues, and the US-Soviet relationship, the group
traces its roots to annual conferences in the 1970s for
university and think tank researchers associated with arms-
control projects. As the group evolved, it grew to include
legislators, government officials, business and industry
representatives, and journalists. The current program
has moved beyond its Cold War origins and today spans
three generations of policymakers representing a range
of perspectives. The approach, however, has remained
constant: to use a bipartisan lens to identify the most
contentious foreign policy and national security concerns
facing our nation, and to assess America’s evolving
interests. Recent workshops, briefings, and reports have
covered how the new administration should construct its
national security decision-making structures, the rise of
radicalism in the Middle East, the crisis with Russia, the
future of American defense, and the global leadership role
of the United States. The Aspen Ministers Forum and Track
II dialogues with Brazil, China, and India are also organized
under the auspices of the Aspen Strategy Group.
THE BRIDGE
www.aspeninstitute.org/bridge
The Bridge, the Institute’s program on race, identity,
and inclusion, kickstarts honest conversations by using
the candid six-word memoirs of the Race Card Project,
which has collected more than 200,000 stories on race,
gender identity, ethnicity, religion, and more. The Bridge’s
mission is to create spaces where people can explore
these issues for deeper understanding of other people’s
lives. The program works with communities, corporations,
schools, and the media to help raise awareness, share
knowledge, and activate learning using a variety of tools
and resources. Its aim is to break down barriers and
explore how race and identity can influence individuals
and institutions. Its vision is to engage people in honest
dialogue to help diminish differences, combat disparities,
and create a more open world. We all have a story.
BUSINESS AND SOCIETY PROGRAM
www.aspeninstitute.org/bsp
The Aspen Business & Society Program helps established
and emerging business leaders put values at the heart of
practice. Through dialogue, teaching awards and curated
leadership networks, the program designs and facilitates
opportunities for executives and educators to explore
10
new routes to business sustainability and long-term
value creation. Signature programs include the Long-
term Strategy Group, First Movers Fellowship, and Ideas

CENTER FOR NATIVE AMERICAN YOUTH
www.cnay.org
The Center for Native American Youth believes Native
American youth should lead full and healthy lives, have
equal access to opportunity, and draw strength from
their culture and one another. Created by former US
Senator Byron Dorgan, CNAY works to improve the
health, safety, and overall well-being of Native American
youth. These youth face serious challenges, including
some of the highest rates of unemployment, poverty,
alcohol and substance abuse—and an epidemic in which
Native youth attempt suicide at 2.5 times the national
rate. Despite these challenges, Native youth across the
country are undertaking inspiring initiatives to build a
bright future for their communities. CNAY focuses on
the resilience and strength of these individuals and
supports them through youth recognition, inspiration,
and leadership; research, advocacy, and policy change;
serving as a national resource exchange; and developing
Native youth media opportunities that focus on strengths
and solutions. CNAY also manages the National Native
Youth Network of former President Obama’s Generation
Indigenous initiative.

THE ASPEN INSTITUTE CENTER
FOR URBAN INNOVATION
aspeninstitute.org/policy-work/center-urban-innovation
The Aspen Institute Center for Urban Innovation exists
to harness the innovative power of cities to make them
great places for all of their residents, especially those in
underserved neighborhoods, to live, work, connect, and
flourish. At their best, cities are engines for inclusion,
economic advancement, and innovation. How can they
continue to be? The Center is a white-board space where
smart, passionate, creative people find the answers to
that vital question together. Since its launch in 2015,
the Center for Urban Innovation has hosted convenings
and researched subjects including: how local-level
regulations can help or hinder innovation and economic
inclusion; how cities can prepare for the advent of
autonomous vehicles; how inclusive innovation happens
in businesses, philanthropies, local governments, and
non-profits; and the challenges that women and people
of color face in accessing capital. In line with the Aspen
Institute’s focus on values-based discussion, the center
seeks to understand and articulate the values implicated
in innovation, disruption, inclusion, and reinvention.

COLLEGE EXCELLENCE PROGRAM policy, racial inclusion in communications, institutional

www.highered.aspeninstitute.org
The College Excellence Program identifies and accelerates
the adoption of practices and leadership strategies that
improve equity in students’ college access as well as the
success of all students in learning, degree completion,
and post-graduation employment. Over the past 50
years, increased college access has benefited millions of
Americans. But now the nation must get more students
through college with the skills and abilities needed for
success after graduating. College Excellence helps colleges
align their programs, practices, and policies to the success
of today’s students, both while they are in college and in
the world they inhabit after college. The program’s flagship
initiatives include the Aspen Prize for Community College
Excellence, which awards $1 million biennially to the
nation’s best community colleges and replicates exceptional
college outcomes nationwide; the Aspen Presidential
Fellowship for Community College Excellence, which trains
the next generation of community college leaders; the
Siemens Technical Scholars, which recognizes the value that
community colleges can provide students, communities,
and businesses through excellent programs that prepare
students for middle-skill jobs in STEM fields; and the
American Talent Initiative, which expands socioeconomic
diversity at leading colleges and universities.
COMMUNICATIONS AND
SOCIETY PROGRAM
www.aspeninstitute.org/c&s
The Communications and Society Program serves as a
venue for global leaders and experts to exchange insights
on the societal impact of advances in digital technology
and network communications. It creates a space in the
policymaking world where both veteran and emerging
decision-makers can explore new concepts and develop
policy networks. The program convenes approximately
10 leadership roundtables each year on subjects such
as artificial intelligence, broadband and spectrum
innovation, and diplomacy and technology. Its major
activity for 2017-18 is conducting the Knight Commission
on Trust Media and Democracy. The program also runs
a project on the future of public libraries. Leaders from
across disciplines and perspectives engage in moderated
discussions that culminate in specific conclusions and
recommendations. The program distributes conference
reports to key policymakers and opinion leaders around
the world and to the public online.
COMMUNITY STRATEGIES GROUP
www.aspeninstitute.org/csg
The Community Strategies Group helps leaders in rural
and urban communities create more vibrant regions that
advance and sustain prosperity and well-being for local
people, places, and firms, always including those on the
economic margins. This group helps community leaders
connect with and motivate each other, and equips them
with the best ideas, tools, and strategies to improve
community and family economic results. The group’s
hallmark approach is tailored, peer-to-peer exchanges in
which community-based leaders advise each other and
create immediate back-home action plans. Community
Strategies also brings together practitioners and
residents in specific geographic regions to collaborate
and find common aims, and connects community
innovators with regional and national experts and
funders. It distills community lessons into action guides,
good-practice profiles, virtual peer-learning exchanges,
and online resources. The group builds and manages
multiple networks of community-based practitioners and
regional leaders from across the country who are focused
on advancing family economic success, community-
development philanthropy, and wealth-building
approaches to regional economic development.

2018 OVERVIEW | 2017 ANNUAL REPORT 11

 CONGRESSIONAL PROGRAM
www.aspeninstitute.org/congressional
This is a nonpartisan, public-policy education and civility-
building program for members of the US Congress, in
which more than 30 percent of the current Congress has
participated. At a time of congressional gridlock and
extreme partisanship, the program offers Republican and
Democratic legislators the opportunity to explore policy
alternatives and learn from internationally recognized
academics and experts. It assists legislators in developing
a deeper understanding of public-policy options and
the personal relationships necessary to help Congress
meaningfully address our nation’s problems. Although the
program does not endorse specific legislation, for more
than three decades it has provided a forum for policy-issue
discussion that has often sown the seeds for significant
policy initiatives. Current subjects include international
economic and security issues; extremism; energy policy;
policy challenges in the developing world; and US policy
with regard to Russia, Asia, and the Middle East. The
program annually sponsors 25 breakfast meetings and
four conferences for members of Congress. No lobbyists,
congressional staff, or outside observers are permitted.
The program also provides policy education initiatives as a
resource for key congressional staff members.
CYBERSECURITY AND
TECHNOLOGY PROGRAM
www.aspeninstitute.org/cyber
The attacks of the last decade by nation-states, organized-
crime groups, and even individual hackers threaten to
undermine trust in not just our institutions but also in the
very information that powers our society, from financial
and medical records to the media that keeps us informed.
Launched in 2017, the Institute’s Cybersecurity and
Technology Program offers educational resources, shares
knowledge across industries and sectors, and brings
together government and private-sector leaders to discuss
challenges and offer policy solutions that will help create
a safe and secure online environment. Through both
public events and a closed-door strategy group that brings
together thinkers from Washington, Silicon Valley, academia,
journalism, and the private sector, the program helps shape
the future of our nation’s security online and ensure that the
internet remains a key driver of American innovation.
ECONOMIC OPPORTUNITIES PROGRAM
www.aspeninstitute.org/eop
The Economic Opportunities Program advances
promising strategies, policies, and ideas to help low-
and moderate-income Americans connect to and thrive
in a changing economy. Over its more than 25 years,
the program has focused on expanding individuals’

opportunities to find quality work, start businesses,
and build assets and economic stability. Its staff works
closely with national and local leaders—practitioners,
policymakers, employers, foundation leaders, academics,
and advocates—to illuminate and encourage policies and
practices that have the potential to help lower-income
Americans succeed. The program has particular expertise
in workforce training and education, microenterprise
development and business ownership, financial services
and asset-building, and business practices that support
quality jobs. To support these fields, the staff leads
evaluations and applied research to learn what works
and document it; facilitates leadership development
and capacity-building opportunities; and communicates
promising approaches to broad and diverse audiences.
The program comprises several interrelated initiatives
that dive deeply into particular approaches to expanding
opportunity: FIELD, Workforce Strategies Initiative, UpSkill
America, and Good Companies/Good Jobs. The program
recently created the Economic Opportunity Fellows
Network, which will increase the connections of leaders
within and across its fellowship programs.
EDUCATION AND SOCIETY PROGRAM
www.aspeninstitute.org/education
The Education and Society Program advances equity for
traditionally underserved students by inspiring, informing,
and influencing education leaders across policy and
practice. By providing venues for authentic learning and
honest off-the-record dialogue and producing a range
of resources and tools, Education and Society assists
education leaders in designing, implementing, and
continually improving strategies to ensure that students
prepare for college, career, civic engagement—and life. The
program convenes a wide range of stakeholders that are
diverse by design—networks of urban superintendents and
their teams, state chiefs and their cabinets, elected officials
and their staffers, federal, state, and local policymakers
and practitioners, civil rights organizations, teachers, union
leaders and reformers, and Republicans and Democrats—
to question conventional wisdom, elevate evidence over
ideology, and promote innovation that addresses vexing
challenges facing the country’s public education system.
ENERGY AND ENVIRONMENT PROGRAM
www.aspeninstitute.org/ee
The Energy and Environment Program convenes non-
partisan policy dialogue and neutral forums focused on
key energy, conservation, and environmental topics and
how to promote environmental sustainability and hu-
man well-being in a technological world. The program’s
mission is to take up enduring questions about nature
and society and prompt
new thinking among diverse
participants by deliberately
testing assumptions and
policies related to sus-
tainable water use, clean
energy, climate change, and
conservation. It promotes
values-based dialogue

and Environment Program seeks to inspire and explore
new ideas and provoke action in the real world.
FINANCIAL SECURITY PROGRAM
www.aspenfsp.org
The Aspen Institute Financial Security Program is
dedicated to solving critical financial challenges facing
America’s households and creating a more inclusive
and prosperous economy in which all Americans have
the opportunity to save, invest, and own. Working at
the intersection of policy and financial markets, the
program uses an array of strategic dialogues, briefings,
and publications to build consensus among industry
leaders, policymakers, and consumer advocates. The goal
is to find breakthrough solutions that help hardworking
families meet short-term needs and achieve their long-
term financial goals. And to foster effective public policies
that will shape the rapidly evolving financial system in
a way that reduces wealth inequality and improves the
financial security of all Americans.
FOOD AND SOCIETY AT THE
ASPEN INSTITUTE
Food and Society brings together leaders and decision-
makers in the food and beverage industry and the
public health community—scientists, nutritionists,
environmentalists, entrepreneurs, chefs, restaurateurs,
farmers, and food makers of all kinds—to find solutions
to production, health, and communications challenges in
the food system. Initiatives include examining the current
state and prevalence of gene editing in food production
and assessing whether, where, and how it can be used to
foster equity and reduce food insecurity; finding common
ground in the current assortment of soda-tax initiatives
to make them result in meaningful health improvements;
developing seeds for crops that taste better as well as
producing higher yields; building on current strategies
to reduce food waste; and making restaurants better,
harassment-free places to both work and dine. The goal
is for people of all income levels to eat better and more
healthful diets—and to enjoy them bite by bite.
FUTURE OF WORK INITIATIVE
www.aspeninstitute.org/future-of-work
The Aspen Institute’s Future of Work Initiative identifies
concrete ways to address the challenges American workers
and businesses face given the changing nature of work in
the 21st century. The growth of the independent workforce,
increased importance of education and skills as a result of
new technologies and increased automation, and focus on
short-term profits over long-term value creation will bring
dramatic changes in the years ahead. Rather than waiting
to react to future disruptions, business and policy leaders
must invest in workers and strengthen preparedness
for the jobs of the future. The Initiative focuses on policy
solutions at the federal, state, and local levels to improve
economic security for both traditional and independent
workers, expand investment in and access to effective
education and training programs, and reduce pressure on
businesses to prioritize short-term profits and encourage
investment in long-term value creation.
HEALTH, MEDICINE AND
SOCIETY PROGRAM
www.aspeninstitute.org/health
The Health, Medicine and Society program creates
opportunities for government, industry, academic, and
advocacy leaders to explore critical issues in health,
health care, medical science, and health policy in the US.
It facilitates knowledge exchanges and advances strategic
thinking among decision-makers through nonpartisan,
multi-disciplinary public policy programs and dialogue,
including roundtables, briefings, conferences, and other
forums. These gatherings encourage collaborative

www.aspeninstitute.org/pwe

Begun in 1981, the Program on the World Economy
promotes sustainable economic growth and financial
stability in the world economy by convening prominent
leaders from both industrial and developing nations. It
uses an interdisciplinary approach to generate pragmatic
solutions to major economic and financial challenges and
to advance cooperation on key issues facing the global
economic and financial system.
SERVICE YEAR ALLIANCE
www.serviceyear.org
The Service Year Alliance, an initiative between the Aspen
Institute, Be the Change, and Service Year Exchange,
is working to make a year of paid, full-time service — a
service year — a common expectation and opportunity
for all young Americans. A service year before, during, or
after college gives young people the chance to transform
their lives, make an impact in their community, and
become the active citizens and leaders our nation needs.
Expanding service years has the power to revitalize
cities, uplift and educate children at risk, and empower
communities struggling with poverty.
SPORTS & SOCIETY PROGRAM
www.sportsandsociety.org
The Sports & Society Program convenes leaders, fosters
dialogue, and inspires solutions that help sports serve
the public interest. Its signature initiative is Project Play,
which develops, shares, and applies knowledge that
helps stakeholders build healthy communities through
sport. Its seminal report, “Sport for All, Play for Life: A
Playbook to Get Every Kid in the Game,” has been used
by hundreds of organizations – from foundations to sport
providers to professional leagues – to introduce or shape
youth programs. The program hosts the annual Project
Play Summit, where 400 leaders gather to push forward
the movement to build healthy communities through
sport. In 2018, the program added a new conversation
series, Future of Sport, a venue to think through some big
questions in the sport industry.
STEVENS INITIATIVE
www.stevensinitiative.org
The Stevens Initiative is an international effort to build
global competence for young people in the United
States and the Middle East and North Africa region by
expanding and enhancing the field of virtual exchange:
online, sustained, international, collaborative learning.
The Initiative conducts a number of activities to increase
cross-cultural understanding and build language,
communication, digital literacy, problem-solving, and
other skills young people need to succeed in the
21st-century economy. In addition to offering financial
awards to organizations conducting virtual exchange
programs, the Stevens Initiative raises awareness of the
field; creates a clearinghouse of tools and resources;
convenes leaders and experts to spur innovation; and
conducts evaluations, impact measurement, and research.
The Initiative is a tribute to the legacy of Ambassador
Chris Stevens, who was killed in Libya in 2012 and
dedicated himself to building understanding between
people from different countries.

LEADERSHIP NETWORK
MULTI-YEAR PROGRAMS WHERE LEADERS
EXPLORE THEIR CORE VALUES TO DRIVE ACTION
IN THEIR COMMUNITIES AND BUSINESSES

The Aspen Global Leadership Network is a worldwide community of

entrepreneurial leaders committed to making the world a better place.
The network fellows are selected to be part of one of 14 geographic or
sector-specific initiatives around the world—all modeled after the Aspen
Institute’s flagship Henry Crown Fellowship Program. Fellowship gath-
erings provide space for introspection, probing dialogue, and problem
solving. The vast majority of fellows are senior business leaders, and they
are asked to bring their leadership to bear on a pressing societal concern
by launching a venture of their choosing. Fellows are using their busi-
nesses and positions to promote the free flow of information, bridge the
educational achievement gap, fight rare diseases, stop domestic violence,
and help the elderly. Today, the Aspen Global Leadership Network num-
bers more than 2,700 fellows in 60 countries and continues to grow. The
network connects fellows online as well as at regular events including
its flagship event—the Resnick Aspen Action Forum, an annual gathering
that brings together Aspen Global Leadership Network fellows and oth-
er leaders from Aspen Institute programs and partners, spurring them to
move from thought to action.

 THE YEAR IN REVIEW
2017-2018 Selected Highlights
of the Institute’s Work
■■ In July in Aspen, the Economic Security Summit:
Constructing the New Middle Class brought together
leaders in industry, academia, government, and
philanthropy to find new solutions to the new financial
challenges facing American households.
■■ The Socrates program honored Institute trustee and
former secretary of state Madeleine Albright with the
Socrates Award, in recognition of her tireless work as a

finale with the Society of Fellows’ Leonardo da Vinci
Celebration, which brought together scholars and art
historians to explore the life and mind of the original

Boies and Ted Olson, renowned lawyers who set aside
past political differences to find common ground
across both sides of the aisle and make significant
contributions to American jurisprudence.
40
■■ In partnership with the John S. and James L. Knight
Foundation, the Institute’s Communications and Society
program formed the Knight Commission on Trust,

to which trust in major institutions has fallen in a rapidly
changing information ecosystem--and to identify the
emerging values and social obligations that should
guide those who produce and consume news.
■■ In San Diego, the Latinos and Society program hosted
Innovation and Culture at the Border in partnership
with the Institute of the Americas, a conversation on
innovation and culture along the US – Mexico border
highlighting success stories with a particular focus on
American Latinos in CaliBaja.

Insight, a podcast that takes listeners through the halls
of the Aspen Institute to learn from the people working
every day to improve the planet.
■■ Among the announcements made at this year’s Project

profit groups have come together to develop shared
goals around making sport accessible to all children,
regardless of zip code or ability.

government, business, and technology leaders to

The event featured a keynote address by then-White
House Homeland Security Advisor Thomas P. Bossert.

impact on his or her community and who embodies the
broad Aspen Institute ideal of values-based leadership.
